Title

Anhedonia induced by high-fat diet in mice depends on gut microbiota and leptin

Overall design

The aim of this study was to examine the role of the intestinal microbiota and the adipocytokine leptin as potential mediators of the effects of high-fat diet to induce anhedonia-like behavior and reduce self-care in mice. C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following 4 groups: (1) control group (control diet for 4 weeks), (2) high-fat diet group (high-fat diet for 4 weeks), (3) antibiotics group (control diet plus antibiotics treatment for 4 weeks), and (4) high-fat diet + antibiotics group (stressor plus antibiotics treatment for 4 weeks). High-fat diet group showed decreased sucrose preference than control group, while high-fat diet + antibiotics group showed increased sucrose preference than high-fat diet group. Eight to ten cecal content samples per group were used for NMR-based metabonomic analysis.
